Selling Huge Fruiting Sabara, Multi Grafted. California

[K-Rimes]

It is painful to list this for sale, it’s the star of my collection, but it’s time. This will require a special buyer who can accommodate its size, and complexity of transport. It will need a 26' box truck to fit its height.

The rootstock is sabara and fruits heavily multiple times per year. There are several Paulista grafts, from fruiting trees, that have not yet produced, two different sources. There is also a producing Scarlet graft (mislabeled as red in photos), 3 producing Otto Anderson Phitantra (seedling) grafts that produce, and a Zona da Mata graft that has not yet produced.

I am taking offers for now. Comparable trees, never pruned, without grafts sell for close to $3-5k at the nurseries in LA. I am not expecting that much, but it’s one of the bigger trees you can find in CA that’s for sure.

Wow, that is a beast!   Super tempting to get a big specimen like that and graft a bunch of varieties on it like you are doing.

This thing was kind of manageable before it went into this tote, I think that was around 2019. It is an absolute massive tree now.

If this were in ground, it would be the perfect height to pick from. I needed a step ladder this year to get to the top.

The grafts are getting juicy now, the Paulista scion I got from Lance in 2021 will be the leader this year.

That is a beautiful tree K-Rimes. Unfortunately my divorce-o-meter is redlined after the dozens of trees I bought and planted in 2025, so I will have to wait patiently for my tiny jabos to get epic like yours

Beautiful tree!  If you were a little closer to San Jose and I could convince my wife I'd love to buy this tree.  I'm imagining you'd want to clamp down some plywood on the soil then wrap the canopy with plastic wrap very securely and transport it on its side, that could allow for some smaller trailers to theoretically haul it.  Hope you can get good money for it!

Best to put it in a box truck in my opinion, with a lift gate. It is too big to lay down and pick up.

Still looking for a buyer for this bad-boy.
